Trump and Clinton Meet For Second Debate, Libertarians Try to Get Mike Pence to Endorse Gary Johnson, Airstrike in Yemen Kills 140+ at Funeral: A.M. Links
- Local undecided voter
Ken Bone won the second presidential debate, held in St. Louis last night. Donald Trump tried to sit Bill Clinton's sexual assault accusers in the family box but was overruled by the debate commission. 2008 presidential nominee John McCain was among a number of Republicans to withdraw their endorsement of Trump after the release on Friday of a tape of a lewd conversation with Access Hollywood's Billy Bush, who NBC suspended from Today yesterday. A Hillary Clinton foreign policy spokesperson tweeted that Trump should go fuck himself after Trump said at the debate that Captain Humayun Khan would have still been alive if Trump were president. The Libertarian National Committee urged Mike Pence in an open letter to drop out of the Republican ticket and endorse Gary Johnson.
- Thousands protested in Yemen over a Saudi airstrike that killed at least 140 people at a funeral this weekend. Missiles shot from Yemen reportedly landed near a U.S. destroyer in international waters in the Red Sea.
- Taiwan wants China to engage it in talks.
- The Nobel Peace Prize was awarded to the Colombian president, Juan Manuel Santos, who said he would donate the prize money to victims of the FARC conflict.
- At least 19 people in the U.S. have died in relation to Hurricane Matthew.

Local undecided voter Ken Bone won the second presidential debate, held in St. Louis last night.
Trump grabbed that debate by the cooch!
Hello.
Question: Who the hell would watch the debate rather than post-season baseball, football, or watching paint dry?
I’d rather have had to sit and read every one of SugarFree’s stories than watch that debate.
You mean you don’t do that anyway?
Whoa, hey now….lets not get too crazy about this.
After it got too dark to watch the grass grow, I opted to watch a 2 hour documentary about paint drying.
It was on the Golf Channel, wasn’t it? Sweeps week.
That must have been the abridged version of the Slow TV T?rking maling – minutt for minutt special.
If you couldn’t watch the grass grow, you could at least listen to it.
And that documentary was still more exciting and satisfying than watching soccer. After all, at the end of the documentary, there is resolution and the paint is dry.
I thought “Paint Drying” was a 10 hour documentary. http://www.bbfc.co.uk/releases/paint-drying-2016
I’d rather fuck my neighbor’s dog. That would be preferable to Hillary.
Grab that bitch by the snatch and she’s yours!!
244) So what’s everybody looking forward to most about the upcoming Hillary presidency? The scolding national lectures or the endless Clinton scandals? Or maybe the fainting spells in international fora?
The numerous disastrous nternational interventions that the left will somehow still manage to blame on Bush.
“If only that damned Republican Congress would approve the funding that President Clinton needs to win the war and keep our military safe!”
Everything will be Bush’s fault until the heat death of the universe, which will also be his fault (insofar as it isn’t the fault of environmental racism).
Are you saying Bush didn’t invent environmental racism?
Typical right wing excuse-maker.
Gotta blame it on someone else. Except for me.
Her SCOTUS appointments, leading to the abandonment of the pretense that we live in a constitutional republic.
We haven’t abandoned that already?
Just so we get to shoot someone, it’s all cool.
ABANDON REPUBLIC!
I think Trump giving the House back to the Democrats will be his real lasting achievement.
He’s already taken the tax write-off on that.
*narrows gaze*
The he flew away in a helicopter while Trump Giving The House Back To Democrats, Inc. filed for bankruptcy.
Sixteen-year-old American citizens should be allowed to vote. Fuck the CPD.
The expansion of suffrage to millions of heretofore illegal third world migrants that will reliably vote Democrat for generations. My kids are young now, but I hope I live long enough to tell my grandchildren about that time a non-Democrat was even close to getting elected to the presidency.
They won’t believe the US was ever not a banana republic under one-party rule, gramps must just be getting senile.
As long as you tell it without letting your guard down in the fear someone might steal the mangoes that are keeping you and your family alive.
They won’t be voting democratic for generations. The dominant party will eventually split into two even shittier parties and that will the choice. Democracy, ain’t it grand.
What happens when a socialist party splits into two? Because methinks political culture will have shifted much farther left if that were the case, you’d have the Democratic Socialist Party versus the Socialist Democratic Party every election. Under that shitty dichotomy, I dare say that property rights, the second amendment and basically everything else we care about are going to take some major hits.
Judaean People’s Front!? Pfft.
Taiwanese tourists say that they feel very free in the USA. I say that’s because you never lived here.
The endless (unsuccessful) attempts by the GOP Congress to get together enough votes to veto a single one of the laws Hillary writes.
My niece has this little rat terrier of some sort, more rat than terrier, and everytime she puts him outside he immediately runs to the end of his lead to start furiously barking and snarling at the neighbor dogs. I can’t tell what he’s saying but I know it’s an awful lot of curse words and outrageous threats about what exactly he’d do to those dogs if he had a chance. The neighbor dogs just lay there and look at him because they’re two big Labs and this little rat is about the size of a squirrel so they don’t even bother laughing at him, just look at him kinda puzzled-like like “Dude, you know we can see you, right? If you’re going to tell somebody you’re a fierce three-headed fire-breathing monster the size of a Clydesdale you can’t be doing it right where they can see you, idiot.”
And there’s the GOP’s problem – they’re too stupid to realize everybody knows what yapping little weak pathetic rodents they are. You ain’t gonna stand up to Hillary – you couldn’t even stand up to Trump when he walked right in the door, called you a bunch of pussies, slapped you around, spit in your face, and walked off with your party. He’s a second-tier Democrat Hillary-supporter her minions in the media told you to nominate and you did as you were told. So shut the hell up with the whiny little bitch-baby act, it’s getting old. Go make me a sammich.
*stands to applaud*
The impeachment hearings. They don’t even need to wait for her to break the law, she’ll be the first president to go into office with an impeachable offense hanging over her head
Doesn’t matter, the Democrats in the senate will never vote to convict.
If Republicans held 100 Senate seats, I highly doubt they would convict.
If they didn’t initiate hearings on Comey for his refusal to pursue obvious breaches of security law, they won’t do it on Her Majesty, either.
Chief Justice of the U.S. Supreme Court, William Jefferson Clinton.
Oh that would be a fun office to sell. I wouldn’t put it past the Clinton’s either.
Just dawned on me this morning: a Clinton will (likely) have book-ended my military career from commission to retirement. Ugh
I’m looking forward to a steady stream of “Hillary falling down the steps of air force one” videos, a’la Jerry Ford. If we’re extra lucky, maybe that rabbit that attacked Jimmy Carter has some great-great-grandbabies that can take her on, too.
-jcr
Nah. The press already does Herself’s bidding by not filming her anywhere she doesn’t want to be filmed. If she wins, that won’t change. Maybe a little “for security reasons . . . ” cover, but don’t get you hopes up.
“I’m looking forward to a steady stream of “Hillary falling down the steps of air force one” videos, a’la Jerry Ford”
Think SNL will feature that?

Hahaha! In what world?
The impeachment.
Donald Trump tried to sit Bill Clinton’s sexual assault accusers in the family box but was overruled by the debate commission.
Rape culture extends to the highest level!
Trump thinks he can have his way with every box in the world, doesn’t he?

Sharks like listening to AC/DC and heavy metal music, says new book
Fitting since sharks haven’t been popular since Jaws, either.
Never heard of “shark week”?
I can just see sharks circling to the opening of Thunderstruck and waiting for that opening “you been… Thunderstruck!” to take their first bite out of Australians.
This explains Sharknado.
Of course they do, who doesn’t?
Who doesn’t like “Back in Black?”
You know who…wait, nevermind.
Not Rupaul.
Whoever that is, they’ll probably go back.
This is why AC/DC has always been my favorite band.
But, this doesn’t mean they’ve jumped the shark does it? Oh wait, Angus did that when he installed Axl Rose on vocals.
If you like AC/DC, check out Angel City
or Rose Tattoo

Thanks for tip Lord. Another AC/DC-like band I’ve always liked is Rhino Bucket.
I’ll check that out.
Heavy metal is best appreciated by beings without ears.

Police Officer Accused Of Masturbating In Car Says He Was Trying To Stay Awake
Tot of Circs!
I do have to give points for creativity with that excuse.
I’d say it won’t work, but he’s a cop, so of course it will work. He just needs more training in staying awake.
Maybe he should bust up a meth ring and take some of the product for himself.
Just go take a snoozer in the back of some parking lot. I would rather be be rested when called vs chasing speeders while falling asleep at the wheel.
“””Woman in a box truck””
He should have grabbed that box.

If he finishes, though, won’t it be even harder to stay awake?
Either way we will find out in two minutes.
Chances are you’re giving him too much credit.
Depends on how much blood comes out.
…Billy Bush, who NBC suspended from Today yesterday.
I was beginning to wonder if anyone was even going to pay attention to the other side of that.
“But it was locker room banter! Come on, guys!”
“Who do you think you are, Billy? El Trumpo? Please. You don’t have an army of knuckle-draggers making excuses for you! Git goin’! Scat!”
Billy’s an actual Bush family member and even they couldn’t save his job.
The Goddess of PC feminism must have its sacrifices!
I’m still wondering why anyone’s paying any attention to it at all.
I heard the audio in context and my reaction was “So fucking what? It’s just crass banter, where’s the outrage material?”
But that would be an honest and normal take on it, and we can’t have that, because women.
As has been pointed out, the outrage leveled at the pussy discussion would be more convincing if it wasn’t the exact same level of outrage shown toward binders full of women.
I’m still wondering why anyone’s paying any attention to it at all.
Have you ever met anyone?
basically, it’s an excuse to do what the media (and the establishment Blues and Reds) want to do anyway.
Because it is an admission by Trump that he sexually assaults women!
/Soavepearlclutching
Its a fun little story, ain’t it? Oh, man, we just discovered five weeks before the election this footage we’ve had since 2005, that, if played a year ago, would have kept Trump from ever getting a toehold in the election.
Just a wild coincidence to be sure…
I’m leading all of my Clinton-feminist fans through it step-by-step.
Isn’t it amazing that NBC was happy to make money off of Trump with The Apprentice. Given the scandals at Fox and the BBC over powerful men and sex, it seems like media companies are totally okay with his behavior. [Already getting positive comments and likes]
If this is such an automatic disqualification, why didn’t NBC play it when Trump didn’t get destroyed in the Iowa caucus. Before that, he was joke candidate, after he did well enough not to drop out, he wasn’t.
If the parent of NBC was Koch Industries instead of General Electric and they discovered disqualifying evidence about Mrs. Clinton they had on hand for 10+ years five weeks before the election, would you think it was just a coincidence?
Sorry, they are not MY fans. They are fans of Clinton and vocal “feminists”.
And they won’t care because TEAM.
GE sold NBC to Comcast.
The Libertarian National Committee urged Mike Pence in an open letter to drop out of the Republican ticket and endorse Gary Johnson.
The balls!
So they want the endorsement of a guy who is more warlike then either Trump or Johnson?
An endorsement’s and endorsement. Seems extremely unlikely in any case.
Best comment on FB about the debate so far:

“Its much better if you just imagine them singing ‘Baby its Cold Outside’

Scientists gave squirrels fitness trackers and found that males are lazy and females do all the work
I’m picturing the male squirrels lying around with their belly facing the sun and “Taking Care of Business” playing in the background.
Just wait until they get cable TV!
See, nature is sexist. This is unacceptable. We need some laws about squirrel sex equality.
What’s worse, the females only get to eat 78% of what the males do.
Does the study cover all squirrels or just certain elements of squirrel culture?
/runs for cover
“Males are lazy and females do all the work”
Ends up being “Males require less energy so forage for less than females”. But that wouldn’t fit MUH NARRATIVE.
Squirrel narrative.

This is why there are no female libertarian squirrels
So server squirrels are female?
Do you think a bro would second post your comments? It’s backseat driving by the squirrel bitches!
Considering it is the male squirrels that have unaccounted for time above ground, according to the study, I think they are the better candidate for the behavior of the server squirrels.
They are busy screwing up the Reason servers.
On This Day, Peak Florida Has Been Reached
Pshaw. No meth or animal molestation?
If you read the article he also had a crack pipe hiding in his ass so that covers the meth requirement. However you are correct about the lack of animal involvement, and thus I too dispute peak Florida (but it ain’t far)

“cashier to scan the [pair of] $298 items”….nabbed early Tuesday morning for grand theft, a felony”
But, doesn’t grand theft in most states require at least $1000?
$300 in FL. We po’.
$300 in Florida
$300 in Florida passes for a grand. I see a future in money-changing!
Henderson, seen at right, bolted with the merchandise after he allowed a cashier to scan the $298 items.
It took cops about a week to catch up with Henderson, who was nabbed early Tuesday morning for grand theft, a felony.
I think we’ve had this discussion before but I don’t know if it was resolved: Let’s assume the line for grand theft is $500, if those TVs were price-tagged at $298, he has an argument that he didn’t steal two $298 TVs, he stole two TVs worth whatever Walmart’s wholesale price was and that almost certainly is less than $500. If the TVs had somehow been damaged, Walmart’s insurance company wouldn’t re-imburse them the retail price and the IRS I know for damn sure doesn’t let you write off inventory at anything other than cost. So is there some sort of court case that’s settled this issue? I can’t believe no lawyer has never brought up just such an issue before to get a felony marked down to a misdemeanor.
“It took cops about a week to catch up with Henderson..”
Impressive, considering he was running with not one, but two TVs.

From the BBC article on the Nobel Peace Prize:
He was awarded the prize for reaching a peace agreement with the Farc rebel group last month.
The deal was rejected a few days later by Colombian voters in a referendum.
About 260,000 people have been killed and more than six million internally displaced in Colombia.
“Last night, I met with my family and we have decided to donate those eight million Swedish krona ($925,000) to the victims,” said Mr Santos.
In the grand tradition of President Obama, and Yasser Arafat, we have our new Nobel Prize winner, who oversaw a war that killed 260,000 people….so far.
*sigh*
Remember when the Nobel Peace Prize actually meant something?
Yeah,.. me neither.
Unlike Obama and Arafat, the vast majority of those deaths occurred before Santos became president, or even defense minister in Uribe’s administration (2006).
I don’t, but the Peace Prize Committee recognized the problems in that region, and acknowledged that while his efforts were heroic, they may not make much of a difference.
Unlike Obama, Santos actually accomplished something before getting the award.
That accomplishment may turn out to be pointless in the long term, but it’s something.

Hillary if you want to help the children so much? Why didn’t you help me when I was 12 and let my rapist go free? #debate
8,168 retweets 10,840 likes
Is that real? If so, holy shit. And if real, expect the media to bury it.
Re: WTF,
Yes, it is real. HillRod was a young-ish attorney and what she did to defend her client was to attack the little girl’s integrity by paining her as a little minx whi was looking for sex with an older man. One has to be told that the girl alleged she was kidnapped. She was also brutally assaulted and left for dead.
But the problem I have with this is that HillRod’s job was to defend her client. People who attack her conveniently forget that it was the JURY who decided to let the rapist go.
I know the story is real, I was wondering if the tweet was genuine, from the actual victim.
Considering Trump had her and several of the women who were allegedly abused by Bill Clinton in the audience for the debate last night, it could be a genuine tweet.
I’m a little skeptical about the source of the tweet.
And she was effectively doing her job, albeit in a scuzzy and perhaps unethical way. She probably should have just stuck with being a sleazy defense attorney as it seems she was pretty good at it.
“he probably should have just stuck with being a sleazy defense attorney as it seems she was pretty good at it.”
Did you miss the 90’s?
It was her job, yes. We live in a society that takes all sorts. It’s good that clients can get representation. Some of those sorts however, are pieces of shit without a moral bone in their body. That sort, her sort, make exceptionally good politicians in the same way that tape worms are exceptionally good parasites. But I see no reason that what at best could be described as a ‘professional responsibility’, should sit above basic moral obligations to other people when reviewing that person’s moral character. The fact that she did her job may make what she did perfectly reasonable under the circumstances, but it doesn’t make what she did moral.
+1 Right Livelihood
Sure it does. And she probably has an excellent and totally acceptable response prepared and ready to go along the lines of “an attorney’s job is to represent their client…this is how I learned from the experience, etc, etc.”, which is why Trump knows not to bother with it.
I think it’s an excellent argument for never electing lawyers.
To me it wasn’t the fact she got her client off, it was using tactics she now decries and the laughing and gloating about the fact she knew her client was guilty and still got him off.
She got the prosecutor to drop most of the charges by lying about a hotshot forensic expert witness that was coming to town. She then did interviews wth the press where she laughed about getting the guy off, despite knowing for certain that he was guilty and she further attacked the victims character.
Wasn’t it the jury’s job to decide that?
Sure, what HillRod did as a defense attorney was sleazy and awful, but that is what she’s paid for. The job of the jury is to look at the evidence and decide on the charges. It’s easy to blame the attorney.
Yeah, of all the things to bash Hillary for, giving that guy representation isn’t one of them.
It’s not so much about the representation, it’s more about how she cackled on tape about how she got the guy off even though she thought he was guilty.
NBC Fact Checked the cackle and found it was more of a mild, vague chuckle.
Gosh, that makes it so much better.
A completely worthless person will be elected to our highest office, and all we get are shrugs.
Can someone find where she laughs about getting the guy off? A timecode on that youtube clip?
All I recall is her laughing about polygraphs being useless and how merely dropping the name of a good forensic expert scared the prosecutor.
From my understanding, it was less the “doing the job as a defense attorney” than “Fitting the stereotype of an evil defense attorney by laughing about getting someone she knew to be guilty off while being recorded”. It doesn’t help that it fits a pattern of behaviour.
Great. I don’t refresh and wind up sounding like UnCiv.
Don’t sweat it straffin. Your comment sounded better because of your better enunciation. UnCiv’s comment was marred by the fact that he is missing so many teeth. Totemo jozu desu.
No worries, straffinrun. Unless you go on a tear about how you don’t like coffee, beer, liquor, ice cream flavors other than vanilla, non-earthtone colors, or music, you still don’t sound like UCS.
What was sleazy and awful was her fabricating a contention that the victim had an affinity of attraction for older men, and somehow provoked the attack upon her, as well as Hillary’s later cavalier attitude and laughter about getting the guy off with basically time served by employing those sleazy tactics.
^This. Plus, it doesn’t fit into the “women never lie about rape” narrative.
She was 12. It’s OK to think little girls lie about rape.
OMWC alert!!
Such outrage as exists is partly based on “OMG she represented an evil rapist and got him off” (no pun intended).
If she acted illegally or unethically while doing so, then that’s the *real* scandal to me, but to some in the general public, “representing a guilty rapist” is all they need to know to realize she’s awful.
And, sorry to say, it’s human nature to rejoice over a victory. And if your victory is winning a difficult case – a case of a guilty client, no less – then human nature is such that this is going to give anyone a woody. Maybe she should have been more ashamed of her excited feelings?
Side note: you can’t just get out of representing people. I got four domestic violence cases in a row in the same court, and I think some non-lawyer friends are like “eww, you represented abusers.” I get what I get and I don’t throw a fit.
Did you laugh about how you got the bastards off later too?
I have not gotten a “not guilty” verdict on them yet. They have all either pleaded guilty or been tried and found guilty.
“I have not gotten a “not guilty” verdict on them yet. They have all either pleaded guilty or been tried and found guilty.”
Did you honestly try your best? Maybe these were jobs for Hildog. She’d do anything to win.
If she acted illegally or unethically while doing so,
It is certainly very strange that she signed an affidavit (presumably under oath) that unnamed persons said that the little girl was a slut who lied a lot and came onto men.
Someone get this man a cocktail.

What? Tell me more about this supposed mustache ban for us cis-shitlords. You know that some of us have had to cut back on the beard department because global warming has caused our chins to become covered in grey hair?

It wasn’t a ban, exactly, but ever since the days of Freddy Mercury, the mustache has been largely the de facto province of homosexuals (and honorary homosexuals, e.g. hipsters).

I have Samsung Galaxy 5. One of the first things I noticed about it was that it would hold a charge for 3 days with a bright screen I think Samsung has been pushing the envelope on battery power storage for a while. A libertarian question: is it the government’s job to stop me from buying a Galaxy 7 that might explode? Can I take it with me on an airplane? I think I know the answers but not all the nuances.
With the free flow of information we have, the “exploding battery” problem is self-correcting (not in that way) and people will be driven away from exploding models.
Governments job is to provide a place to sue. And enforce the judgement.
To be clear, the problems affect the Note 7, not the Samsung 7. I have a 7 and an Edge and both haven’t tried to kill us yet.
Sorry…. Neither.
Is there not yet a rumor that the exploding battery is caused by the NSA running their spyware on the phone and causing it to overheat due to the unexpected load? We should totally start that rumor.

Turns out that Hillary Clinton is a shithead, according to sources, all of her supporters are shitheads, and they all reportedly plan to go to work this morning and act like shitheads.
So Hillary is the Turd Sandwich this time around.
Well, Trump certainly is a giant douche.
That was confirmed a few weeks ago.
What if Twitter held a sale and nobody came?
Next up, giving it away?
Could they even do that? How does Twitter ever monetize enough to make themselves profitable?
They don’t. Peak twit is behind them. Someone here, maybe you, suggested a media or advertising company would take them in and use the platform, perhaps making it part of a more attractive package deal to advertisers. It looks like they might have missed their window.
Uh. Yup.
Because this divestment of assets crap is not going to fly. It’s not like Twitter is a car maker or anything of the sort.
Imam divorces eighth wife after she catches him red-handed with minor inside mosque
Looks like the GOP has finally found someone to run against Hillary in 2020.
I thought it was Hillary. I was wondering what Bill was doing in Lahore. But then I thought he must have been giving a speech to Goldman Sachs.
An imam from Punjab has divorced his eighth wife after she caught him red-handed somomizing a minor inside the mosque in Burewala city of Punjab.
I’m have trouble parsing that sentence. The imam is the actor and subject of that sentence?
It should really be broken down into two or more shorter sentences.
Story is – imam was sodomizing a minor of undefined ssex inside the mosque. The imam’s 8th wife catches him in the act. Imam divorces wife. I wonder what happened with the first seven, since the limit in islam is 4 at a time.
a minor of undefined ssex
But let’s be honest…
Imam divorces wife.
But not the other way around. That’s what threw me. Sign me up for that religion. Not. I’m light on moral judgements but that’s fucked up.
Five or more preferably.
“Imam divorces eighth wife”
Quran 4:3 “then marry those that please you of [other] women, two or three or four.”
8 > 4
Do you even hallal??
“after she caught him red-handed somomizing a minor inside the mosque in Burewala city of Punjab.”
Actually I guess the answer to my question is rather obvious…
Yeah, rape (a minor) and homosexuality (madrassa student = male) are probably more haram than having an excess of wives. If he actually believes his religion he probably figured he was already going to hell, so might as well double down on the sins.
2008 presidential nominee John McCain was among a number of Republicans to withdraw their endorsement of Trump…
MAVERICK STRIKES AGAIN
What is the count, has McCain supported more Democrats then Republicans in his life time?

Why did it miss Orlando and Miami and strike at the Gray Coast? Maybe God really hates old people who like to ride motorcycles.

That’s because I’ve invested in cartons of Marlboro Reds and girl magazines:
Nearly 7 in 10 Americans have less than $1,000 in savings
It sounds like they are strictly talking about bank savings accounts which is misleading.
I have $1.30 in my savings account. It had been higher, but that was because I stored the money I used as a down payment for my house there.
Who keeps large amounts of money in an account that pays 1% interest?
Who could possibly imagine that punishing savings by keeping interest rates artificially low would result in less saving?
Look at Mr. High roller, who can put so much in that they bump his rate up to 1 percent.
Yeah, even most of the good CDs these days are barely over 1%, unless you are locking your money down for a decade. To get a decent return you have to actually invest, not store money in a bank, and that comes with the risk of negative returns.
And of course, let’s not forget that the Fed POLICY is to create a ‘modest level’ of inflation, which is above 1%, even if you discount the 9+ trillion dollar elephant in the room of future (obvious) inflation.
Lead and brass, chile’ … lead and brass.
With bail-ins coming, can you blame them?
Savings accounts which pay a negative real rate of return? Why would you keep more money there than you need to cover an overdraft?
ooh, look at Mr. Accountant here
This is why you have to keep pillaging – you don’t properly manage your spoils.
It’s not a hobby but a way of life.
Cover an overdraft with savings? I have a zero fee line of credit for that. So long as I don’t have an outstanding balance, it costs me nothing to have in case of overdraft. Why should I let perfectly good money rot at a negative rate of return when I have even cheaper insurance?
Its a fair cop. Some of us just loathe credit.
$165,000 a year in Household income. Take Home Pay is $7500 a month. 2 working parents and 4 kids.
Rent – $2500
Groceries – $2100
Car Payments – $1200
Utilities – $300
Communications – $350
Insurance – $150
Clothing/Shoes – $300
Medical (copays, prescriptions, etc.) – $100
________________________________________
Total – $7000
That leaves about $500 a month for EVERYTHING else, from savings to holidays to birthdays to entertainment to any kind of unexpected expense.
The reason why more Americans who earn more than $150,000 a year is because of the glories of our progressive tax code. Yeah Singles and DINKS who make that much should have no problem saving, but if you have kids you’re going to have just about the same disposable income on $150,000 a year as someone with kids and earning $75k a year and barely more than someone earning $45,000 a year.

Vehicle Maintenance – $100

I”m looking at the polls online, and they all have Hillary winning the debate last night.
I don’t know if that’s voters expressing outrage over pussygate or the media skewing the results, but there’s no way Trump lost that debate last night.
I haven’t watched any of the debates and don’t plan to, but as I said a while back, these aren’t really debates that either person is going to win or lose. People who like Trump will say he won because he’ll just keep doing the things that made him popular. People who like Clinton will say she won because they are either attracted to her more traditional style or because they simply can’t tolerate Trump ‘winning’. It’s a giant exercise in confirmation, nothing more.
If you were going to watch any debate, you should watch that one.
Trump said things to Hillary’s face that her practice team is probably too scared to say where she can hear them.
He walked in reeling but walked out with her ass all over his shoes.
But people who support Clinton will take that as evidence that Trump lost – they’ll say he was being unpresidential, unhinged, engaging in conspiracy theories, etc. People see what they want to see.
As for me, I already know who I’m voting for and it’s not Clinton or Trump. I gain nothing by watching, and seeing the state of discourse just makes me uncomfortable. I’ll pass.
For pure entertainment value, the debate is worth a watch.
It was magnificent.
I think we are just entertained by different things.
An angry Donald Trump with nothing to lose speaking truth to power, and the presumptive Mafiosa-in-Chief sputtering back about nothing?
Donald Trump looking Hillary in the eye and telling her that if he’s elected President, he’s gonna put her in jail?
How can that not be entertaining?
Trump was serious about that, BTW. It was not a debate talking point. I think it unnerved the media crew more than Hillary.
Trump was serious about that, BTW.
I wouldn’t hold my breath. I’m sure the Clintons could afford to buy him off.

TRUMP WAS A MISOGYNIST AT THE DEBATE!
~derp
My theory is that Trump won the primary precisely because people wanted someone to get into Hillary’s grill and say exactly the mean things he said.
Primary voters were smart enough to know that no other pol in the GOP would ever work up the nerve to say mean things to her.
I’m not saying Trump is good, just that he was the only one willing to not tow the lion when it came to “respectable” politics.
Post debate analysis by your betters is part of the debate. Trump took swings at Hillary and connected at times proving what a hater of women he truly is. Seriously, what cracks me up is all the hay the media made about the RNC(?) writing a piece about how Trump won the first election before it even started. The lack of self awareness is numbing.
I’m sure that’s a big part of it.
I’m sure, too, that people watched that debate like they used to watch Evel Knievel make a jump–hoping that he would crash and burn. Everyone wanted to see Trump fall to pieces. It was supposed to be an inquisition.
It’s hard to break people’s expectations, and they saw what they expected to see–rather than what happened.
They thought he was a misogynist coming in, and they still think he’s a misogynist–so they think he won the debate.
That’s my interpretation.
The score of the game says otherwise, but what do they care?
They thought he was a misogynist coming in, and they still think he’s a misogynist–so they think he won [lost] the debate.
Wouldn’t sports be so much better if the team we like always won? Politics is magic and defies logic until math comes in a pounds you in the face for ignoring it for so long.
I personally enjoyed the constant invocation of baseless conspiracy theories on the part of Clinton. And the moderators feeling the need to debate Trump for being too anti-war.
I heard a new one on NPR this morning, a guy complaining about the double standard on display with regards to Trump. All the outrageous things Trump has done and said about women and somehow he’s still qualified to be a candidate for President? But Bill Cosby does a few things with women back in the ’60’s and ’70’s and suddenly a black man ain’t qualified to even show his face in public? C’mon man. what’s a brother gotta do to catch a break from whitey?
So is this guy supporting Cosby as a write in candidate for President?
Progressives can’t seem to tell the difference between talking about things and doing them.
Saying bad things is actually worse, in their minds, than doing bad things.
Stealing can be forgiven. Saying something homophobic? There’s no coming back from that.
Is that like when Trump raped that 13-year old girl, ken?
The allegations you’re talking about, if I remember correctly, are against some billionaire named Epstein raping a 13 year old girl after a party that Trump supposedly attended.
I believe Trump is being sued as some kind of accessory (during an election)–not for actual statutory rape of a 13 year old girl himself.
But that’s an excellent example of what I’m talking about with progressives!
Can you tell the difference between Trump being accused of rape–and him actually being guilty of rape?
It doesn’t look like you can.
Look in the mirror, ken. It’s you who can’t distinguish an accusation from proof. Fortunately, you are a hairdresser and not a lawyer. You’d suck.
Right, you answer the accusation that progressives can’t tell the difference between speech and action with an observation showing that you can’t differentiate between talk and the real thing–and when you’re called out for that, your only response is blah, blah, blah?
Self-parody.
What’s this stuff about me being a hairdresser? Is there a hairdresser named Ken Shultz somewhere?
You fuckin’ weirdo.
Hey ken, when is Melania going to apologize for enabling a child rapist?
Hey amsoc, when are you going to apologize for giving retards a bad name?
About the same time Hillary does for her and her husband taking donations from one, you silly bitch.
“Hey ken, when is Melania going to apologize for enabling a child rapist?”
You don’t need to be a lawyer to tell the difference between being accused of something and actually having done that thing.
But I guess you can’t be a progressive and understand that–at least you can’t understand it.
This is getting funnier!
P.S. Do you still not get that Trump is being accused as something of an accessory in a civil case?
Amsoc is a fuckin’ retard.
“Nuh uh, YOU suck,” the troll explained.
I’m trying to explain to Ken the difference between someone being accused of something and proof of an allegation. He doesn’t get it.
You guys wanna know what’s really funny?
Yesterday, I said I was afraid that voting for Johnson instead of Trump wouldn’t get my middle finger high enough in the air to where the authoritarian socialists who run Sacramento can see it.
American Socialist seems to think that means I live in Sacramento. He seems to have googled up some hairdresser named Ken Shultz that lives in Sacramento, and he thinks it’s me!
HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!
What a dumb puppy.
Well, if american socialist had any capacity whatsoever for critical thought, he wouldn’t be self-describing as a socialist.
Hey ken, I’m sorry I got your profession wrong. You’re a computer programmer, right?
I strive to use the same level of evidence that SJWs like yourself does when I label someone a rapist. So, if someone–anyone, really– accuses a public figure of rape I’m ok with labeling that person a rapist in perpetuity. Ok with you? In solidarity,
American Socialist
I’m not a computer programmer, but you’re a fuckin’ weirdo.
Creepy, if true.
How can you explain something you don’t understand?
Oh, well you’re a hairdresser!
*Drops mic, fingers himself*
Maybe he can hire Hillary to be his defense attorney.
You mean this allegation?
Trump raped a 13 year-old? That’s outrageous! Who does he think he is, Mao Tse-Tung?
-jcr
It’s a silly premise to begin with. Lots of people don’t think Trump is qualified to be president. I’m guessing Crosby still has his fair share of supporters. I’d expect there to be some overlap between the two groups.
I’ll vote for Cosby as president. Unless it means bringing back New Coke.
I got cited last night for loitering cuz I was allegedly parked outside the library watching the debates on the wifi. A fucking misdemeanor. This banana republic isn’t free and I am gonna enjoy watching it burn when Clinton is elected. Good job ‘murica, you deserve Clinton, Inc.
That’s pretty messed up. Were you dressed as a clown?
He is still alive
I’m sorry that happened, Troy. Fuck that controlling asshat and the society that armed and paid him.
Fuck that shit. You were just touching yourself to the debates like a real American.
He was only trying to keep from falling asleep behind the wheel!
That’s horseshit.
I bet it’s dismissed.
I hope you fight it even if they offer you a simple fine.
P.S. Libraries are made for “loitering”. It shouldn’t be possible to loiter outside a public library with a public wifi connection. That’s what the damn connection is there for! To encourage people to come to the library parking lot and “loiter”. Some people “loiter” by reading books in their cars, I’m sure. That’s what the library is there for!
Maybe sue the library for maintaining an attractive nuisance.
The mood here amongst the Reason commentariat, who are never ever going to cast a vote for Trump, is decidedly lighter this morning. Someone should tell them it’s Monday.
Shouldn’t you be packing to move to Venezuela right now?
Just pack a few suitcases of TP.
That would be sensible. American socialist is not a sensible person.
Let him wipe his ass with a rock if that’s what he wants so much.
Hey! That rock is going in the stew!
Do Venezuelans believe that voting for an asshole douchebag plutocrat is striking a blow against elitism? If not, that might make a refreshing change.
Is Clinton running for office there? I missed that.
They vote for leftist idiots like you. That’s why their country is in ruins. You really should move there. Why wait for utopia when it’s just a few hours away?
Do Venezuelans believe that voting for an asshole douchebag plutocrat is striking a blow against elitism?
Nope. Their government put all of your preferred policies into effect, though, so you’ll love it anyway.
Do Venezuelans believe that voting for an asshole douchebag plutocrat is striking a blow against elitism?

New Email Leak Reveals Clinton Campaign’s Cozy Press Relationship

Gig workforce larger than thought; regulators frustrated!
“The debate over the size of the gig economy and its impact on employment continued Oct. 6, as a new estimate showed that more than one-third of American workers make at least some of their money in contingent jobs.
[…]
Most gig workers are classified as independent contractors, like those who work in other staffing and contract relationships. Those workers usually don’t get benefits. They generally aren’t entitled to minimum wage and overtime protections, workers’ compensation and unemployment insurance and aren’t subject to tax withholdings.”
http://www.bna.com/gig-workfor…..982078231/
Stockman’s categorizing “breadwinner” jobs as a counter to the govt’s Unemployment numbers is brilliant.
An extremely good read.
That’s the one. That guy’s brain should be bronzed. Wait…
and aren’t subject to tax withholdings
There’s the meat.
That’s power we all should have.
My youngest daughter contracts web related services and loves the flexibility. She can pick and choose what she wants to do.
I have a pretty good guess as to where those refueling tankers are coming from.
Oh, USA Today was backing up NBC on the ‘fact checking’ the “Acid Washed” line.
They of course took out naming “Bleach Bit”, because that makes their niggle sound stupid.
It almost gives the impression they were each being *told* what to ‘Fact Check’ by some very-retarded 3rd party. Because are we really to believe that multiple people independently concluded that was somehow an important and relevant ‘misstatement’?
It’s hilarious how effectively the media is own-goaling itself on this one. Trump throws out a metaphor on Hillary’s illegal activity and the media spergs out with its typical pedantry.
I think this sort of thing along with rigging the debates only reinforces the reason his followers support him. They’re helping him everytime they try to help Hillary.
Is this actually a criticism?
I think I’ve punched people for saying things less stupid.
someone needs to tell the Reason staff to turn off the “Live Tweets”. Its still going.
Oh great, now the front yard is flooded with tweets.
At least they’re not making everything italic.

Sounds like what he was doing with Trump in the naughty tape.
his job was to put celebrities at ease and get them to say or do something interesting for the camera.
Well, he certainly accomplished that with Trump. Makes you wonder why NBC tolerated such a sexist, misogynist monster on its payroll for so many years.
